Why don’t you do the sleeves in a different color same sort of fabric is it a knit? If you have remnants in that nice egg plant color that is in the print for the sleeves and also do the binding for the neck in the same trim as the sleeves that would look really nice. Just a thought 🙂

Thanks, I only had charcoal from a coco I made for my sister – it’s another shade if grey, but goes well.
Nearly finished. Will be dark by the time I am so will hopefully get some pix in the morning to post.
Thanks again, Ali ✂️😃✂️

PS, from your pattern lay out above, if you turn the sleeve upside down would it fit? (assuming fabric not directional) and then squeeze the other sleeve out by moving it up to where your funnel neck piece is with the wide point maybe fitting in between the armsyces? Then you either loose the funnel neck or cut that cross grain – I don’t think that would be such a problem with that piece.

Thanks for the tips! I’ve managed to do a little colour blocking – adding some charcoal ponte to the top.
My big problem was that I prefer the funnel neck instead of the boat neck.
Phew! Managed it and almost finished! 🎉✂️🎉✂️🎉
